kekna experimental gismu

x1 is passively x2-able (especially «se x2») under conditions x3; x1 is such that event x2 (nu) can happen to it; it is possible that x1 may undergo x2.

gismu form of ifka'e. kekna allows the construction of ‘-able’ lujvo, when the tertau, rather than being symmetrical with the x1 of the seltau, instead take a passive interpretation of the seltau. This is useful when «selXXXYYY» is not the only good interpretation of a possible meaning for «XXXYYY»; see CLL 12.9: ‘Note that, with these lujvo, an interpretation requiring SE insertion is safe only if the alternatives are either implausible or unlikely to be needed as a lujvo. This may not always be the case, and Lojbanists should be aware of the risk of ambiguity.’
